NovelEnglishChapter 181:
“Bryson acted with your best interests at heart. You should focus on getting better soon. That way, when Norah
returns, we can all go out and have sfun together,” Susanna suggested.
While munching on her apple, Joanna nodded in agreement. “You have a point. | wish there was a magic pill to fix
my wound instantly. Being stuck in bed with nothing to do but play games is so frustrating. At least you cto
see me. Bryson is always swamped. He hardly finds tto spend with me. | feel a bit neglected. It seems like no
one bothers to visiteven though I'm hurt,” Joanna expressed her disappointment.
With her eyes wide open, Susanna retorted, “That can’t be true. You're wonderful. It’s just that others don’t see
it. Right, Mr. Garcia?”
Duncan, who was nearby, quietly agreed with a nod, supporting Susanna’s statement.
Joanna smiled and said, “Susanna, you always know what to say. I'm feeling better already. Here, have some
apples.”

Joanna handed a slice of apple to Susanna. “You're such a sweetheart. Susanna, drop by whenever you can, and
share stories of Norah's brave exploits.”
As Susanna bit into the apple, she responded with enthusiasm. “Please! I'm all ears!”
“I had been friends with Norah for a year at that point, and there was this one twe went out...” Joanna began
recounting her adventures with Norah, and Susanna felt as if she were right there with them.
Joanna's voice carried out of the ward, as the door was open.

Kaiden, passing by, paused at the door, drawn in by her voice. When Duncan exited and noticed Kaiden
lingering, he shot Kaiden a stern look and said, “Next time, just cin if you want to listen. Don’t hang in the
doorway, or | won't be polite.”
Had Kaiden been a stranger to Joanna, Duncan might have resorted to more than just words. Overwhelmed by
Duncan’s commanding presence, Kaiden offered a timid nod to indicate he was listening.
Once Duncan departed, Kaiden stepped inside the ward.
“Kaiden, what brings you here?” Joanna asked.
Kaiden had been visiting the hospital to check on Kasan and occasionally stopped by Joanna's ward, making
them acquaintances.
“I was wondering when Norah will return. Kasan is awaiting her diagnostic expertise,” Kaiden clarified.
Susanna asked, “Why hold out for Norah when the hospital is teeming with doctors? Besides, Norah's a
cardiologist—would she assist with external injuries?”
“Hey!” Kaiden felt annoyed but held back, mindful of Susanna’s influential background.
Previously, Spencer had informed Kaiden that Susanna belonged to the Scott family. Therefore, Kaiden felt the
need to tread carefully around Susanna, always taking the tto explain things patiently whenever they met.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKaiden sensed that Susanna somewhat disliked him, occasionally provoking him on purpose.
“Well...” Susanna stated, “The truth is, I'm also clueless about the date of Norah's return.”
Kaiden took a moment to calm himself. Judging from Susanna’s expression, he had assumed she knew when
Norah would return.
Since only Susanna and Joanna knew Norah's whereabouts, and Kaiden had no direct line to Norah, he was
compelled to seek information here.
With persistence, he probed, “Is it on your mind?”
Susanna could tell that Kaiden’s inquiries about Norah's location were aimed at setting the stage for Kason and
Norah to spend ttogether. Thinking Norah might still be spending stwith Sean overseas, Susanna
doubted Kason’s chances.
In her eyes, Kaiden’s attempts to help Kason chase after Norah seemed futile. Kaiden had no choice but to
observe Susanna’s sly grin and quietly swallow his pride.
